Heck yeah! I love shots that give you a little something extra! Spiders are always excellent for a quick shot. But, they can look menacing if captured at just the right angle :) |

Wonderful clarity on such a tiny little spider! The beads look very cool at that magnification too, I like it in B&W, makes you really focus on the spider. |

great shot of the spider .. they're very photogenic little beasties .. !!:)
and re the budgie and how they sound ..
i've had maybe four budgies since i was quite young, i'm quite old now !! .. so that's over many years .. !!!
anyhoooooo .. they learn to talk by mimicking you and you have to repeat a phrase or word over and over and eventually they will copy it .. once they start talking they'll copy other things you say .. its best to say wotever it is you want them to learn a lot slower than you normally would because when they repeat it they will speed it up .. pretty funny ... they talk higher as well .. but its very difficult to explain in words how they do sound ..
i just googled budgerigar talking and got this .. this budgie isnt as clear as our birds were but it gives you an idea .. the ping pong ball bouncing is amazing .. budgie talking
our last budgie who lived till he was 8 years old used to repeat my laugh .. its manic at the best of times and hearing it repeated back from a little budgie was hillarious .. he had a very large vocabulary and used to give us hours and hours of enjoyment and gut wrenching laughter .. i would recommend a budgie as a pet to anyone as long as they allowed it time out'v the cage to fly around and be part of the family coz they are very social birds and become quite attached to you .. :) |

Ummm... spider! Actually, they're kinda fascinating, but if I find 'em inside, I put them outside (or squash 'em if I can't find a good way to trap them.) Spiders belong outside. |

I love that your desire to create was greater than your desire to kill - GRIN!

I'm with you on the place where bugs belong bit. But this really is worth the price if you find him again. Amazing little legs. |

Great discipline to see the shot and not react to wanting to squish it. I commend you. You also did a very nice job capturing this spider. |

LOL! I agree with everyone else. He would have gotten squished! He is tiny isn't he? Great detail! |

I'm pretty sure right after I took that photo........I would have squished him. :D Nice composition and conversion to black and white. |

I never would have thought to take his picture ... my immediate reaction would have been to squish him! Great job with the b/w conversion and the composition is really good too! |
